Version 0.21 of autoup.sh has a bug that makes the ftp option
fail. A fixed version is expected to be posted momentarily. The
other options work fine.
hamm is pretty stable, but a few packages still have "surprises".
If you are happy with your system, and don't _need_ any of the newer
packages, there is no compelling reason to upgrade at this time.
